Why it was refused

The raised patio, by reason of its constructed height above the adjoining land at No. 35 and 39 Priestlands Park Road, would result in unacceptable overlooking of and loss of privacy to the occupiers of that property. The screening required to mitigate that overlooking would, by reason of its cumulative height when combined with the raised patio and having regard to the falling land levels at No. 39, result in an unduly dominant and enclosing form of development which would materially harm the outlook and living conditions of the occupiers of that property. No form of screening capable of mitigating the overlooking would avoid that harm. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SP5 and DP11 of the Bexley Local Plan (2023).

From the council's decision notice.
